After realising Guido was never going to win over any of the ladies, I decided to vote for Marrow.

I voted for Marrow, I really liked her when she was on the team back in the 90s ... was it the 90s? Anyway, I was pissed off when she disappeared and I'd like to see her get back into the spotlight.

If there's a poll that includes Boom-Boom, I can't just not vote for Boom-Boom.

Edit: Also, I never thought that in a week with four issues, Excalibur would be my favourite.

Honestly it was hard to chose who to vote for, they're all cool characters I'd like to see more of.

Forge and Polaris are already in X-Force and X-Factor so I'd rather have someone else get more exposure.

Sunspot and Cannonball absolutely need to be together so that's a pass for me.

Of all the others I decided to vote for Marrow, because Mahvel. Was debating casting my vote for Banshee because I'm a Generation-X kid but it's the kids of the team I want to see make it in the X-Men.

If "has done nothing" is the criteria just give it to Maggott then.

That Maggott/Marrow/Celia Reyes team was the worst of all time. Hope somebody got fired for that
It was a bad team but that doesn't mean Marrow wasn't an interesting character and deserves better. Not her fault Maggott and Cecilia Reyes were there too.

I mean that's the problem with voting in comic book stuff no matter what. The characters with the most name recognition always win. I would like to point out that in the old Marvel versus DC comic some fights were voted on.

As a result Storm beat Wonder Woman and Wolverine (bone claws) beat Lobo.

I always love this one because the writers couldn't figure out how the hell Wolverine could actually beat Lobo in a fight, so they just fall behind a bar and Logan wins somehow.

Sigh. This is why we can't have anything nice.


Jesus fucking Christ HICKMAN ISN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING WITH HER, IF YOU LIKE POLARIS YOU SHOULD WANT HER TO LOSE

I said this shit in the other thread but it's because Polaris is the most significant live action character on that poll. It's completely fucked.

I would just like to say that it's pretty incredible that, for the most part, there has only really been one dud during all of this (the Fallen Angels mini). I can't believe how cohesive or intresting pretty much all of the books have been. X-Men itself might be the slowest burn, but that's not really a knock so much as an observation... and now that there's a REASON for X-Men again, I suspect that will change.

I was a long time X fan and had long since abandoned pretty much all of the X books... really only checking in when Comixology would have one of their ludicrously huge sales. It's been refreshing to enjoy X titles again, and I can't believe I'm buying like everything.

I'm surprised the poll between Old and Kid Cable is so close. I thought Old Cable would have been much more popular considering his presence in the movies/MvC2 and even the older comics.

I like Cable. But Kid Cable is a refreshing change and makes him interesting again.

I was so sure Armor was going to win this.

Polaris fans coming out of somewhere to represent.

Like Forge probably shouldn't be here either, but at least he just kind of hangs out in the background in X-Force. Polaris straight up helped form X-Factor so losing her like 6 issues would be weird

It's real big on the LGBT representation and I just find the book cozy in general. Losing a member of the cast this early in the run would suck
Honestly it's the artwork that turns me off. Every character has that wacky look to their face and I can't take it. Every character is always making faces like this:

It's too cartoony for me
